Release from Hutchinson Fire Department
The Hutchinson Fire Department responded to 1310 East 4th Avenue early Sunday morning for a report of a fire coming thru the roof of a 60’ x 120’ commercial business. Time of call was 0123.
Upon arrival, crews reported a heavily involved Commercial structure with exposure concerns. Fire crews tried an interior attack but were push back due to the amount of fire and ceiling collapse. Fire crews went into a defensive strategy to save the exposure and extinguish the building of origin. Six engines and two ladder trucks were used to contain the fire and protect the adjacent properties. Power was disrupted in the area. Crews continue to work on containing hot spots and will remain on the scene.
The front part of building was used as a business for a window tint and graphics business. The remaining portion of the structure was used for storage. No one was in the building at the time of the incident. No injuries were noted throughout the incident.
Fire investigators will be working to gather the facts to help in determining a cause of this fire. The fire remains under investigation at the time of this press release.
The Hutchinson Fire Department was assisted by the 911 Dispatch Center, Hutchinson Police Department, Reno County EMS, Kansas Gas, and Evergy.
